Re: Checkin multiple tapes to 3494 library
Agreed! I have gotten numerous boxes of 'prelabeled' tapes only to find that the vendor had only applied the barcodes.

Re: Checkin multiple tapes to 3494 library
The tapes are pre-labeled and initialized. This is my response when I do a q libr. According to the output below, I don't think the library is shared. We do share a robotics unit with another agency but they have their own library.

Re: Checkin multiple tapes to 3494 library
load them in the hopper and get them in the library 1st, before entering the checkin command.

Re: Checkin multiple tapes to 3494 library
Tommy, Yup, the easiest way that I found to check in multiple new volumes to a 3494 library is creating a text file like below. Then log in to TSM and run a macro against that file...show below too... Hopefully these tapes have already been formatted. $ more checkin checkin libv ids01atl1 1a1321 devt=3590 status=scratch checkin libv ids01atl1 1a1323 devt=3590 status=scratch checkin libv ids01atl1 1a1330 devt=3590 status=scratch checkin libv ids01atl1 1a1331 devt=3590 status=scratch checkin libv ids01atl1 1a1334 devt=3590 status=scratch Session established with server I01SV600: Solaris 7/8 Server Version 4, Release 2, Level 1.9 Server date/time: 02/25/03 20:37:55 Last access: 02/25/03 20:22:15 tsm: I01SV600macro /tmp/checkin -Original Message- From: Tommy Templeton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 11:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Checkin multiple tapes to 3494 library Hi *SM'ers Is there a way to check in multiple new volumes (with barcodes) to a 3494 library as scratch?
